Cultural Tour in South Korea: Experience Korea, Beyond Ordinary

At 8 Birds Tours and Events, we believe the best way to experience Korea is to live it—authentically, meaningfully, and with expert local guidance. Our cultural Korea tour package is designed for travelers who crave connection, adventure, and insight. This is more than sightseeing—it’s a curated journey into the heart of Korean history, cuisine, and everyday life. From Seoul to Jeju, your trip will be filled with immersive experiences: walk through the royal halls of Gyeongbokgung Palace, hear the powerful story of a North Korean defector, learn to cook regional dishes in a private food workshop, and even share tea and meditation with monks at a sacred mountain temple. You’ll explore hidden villages, ancient forests, buzzing markets, and volcanic peaks—each moment revealing something new. Whether it’s a bamboo forest walk in Damyang, a ride on Korea’s longest cable car over Mount Yudal, or a soul-stirring meeting with a Haenyno sea diver in Jeju, this tour offers a rare, hands-on connection to Korea’s traditions and modern charm. And because our tours are flexible, we’ll tailor activities to your interests—whether that’s art, hiking, cooking, or even paintball. With premium accommodations, private transport, round-the-clock support, and an expert guide who treats you like family, we make sure your journey is seamless and unforgettable.

Behind The Team

Who We Are

Founded in 2012 by a Korean Museum Curator and a Tour Guide/Restaurateur, 8 Birds Tours and Events specializes in authentic South Korea tours that highlight the country’s top attractions, hidden gems, and cultural heritage. Our expertly crafted itineraries offer immersive food experiences, from Korean BBQ to traditional bibimbap, while accommodating all dietary needs. With a strong commitment to safety, reliability, and sustainability, we provide fully insured, stress-free travel experiences through Korea’s breathtaking landscapes.

Our Values

At 8 Birds Tours and Events, we’re not just another travel company – we’re serious about doing tourism right. We only work with local partners in South Korea who actually care about the environment, not just those who slap a green label on their brochures. Our tours support small bio farms that are doing incredible work in sustainable agriculture, giving travelers a real look at how innovative farming can protect our planet. We’re big fans of Seoul’s amazing public transit system, and we always encourage our guests to ditch expensive taxis and hop on the metro or buses. It’s cheaper, faster, and way better for the environment.

Behind “8 Birds”

The name “8 Birds” was inspired by the island name in Korea “Palgeumdo Island” (팔금도) where our Co-Founder of 8 Birds Tours and Events Yoonie Park came from. The “Palgeum”means “8 birds”, and the number “8” sideways is the symbol for infinity to connote all the initiatives 8 Birds Tours and Events strive to achieve.
